Hey, the guy who said that was speaking for himself. Fer gawd’s sake, the guy lived in Minnesota!! He said that’s why HE joined.
No, he said why “we” joined and why “you” wanted to escape the boredom.
And his comments on “concentration camps” were absurd on their face. Just a liberal P-BSer who wants to come off as so enlightened to all his Minnesota comrades.
True, but his was the only interview stating why people joined up. This implies, at least in my book, that this was a mainstream point of view. When in reality, it was very most definitely not the norm., according to most people who were there at the time.
If this was the only show you saw about WW2, as it might be in the future, in say ,a high school, you'd come away with a vastly different view of why people joined.
Why, you might think they just joined because they didn't have any other opportunities, which is often the reason the left gives as the reason young men join the service today.
What a striking co-inkydink that is !
